Abstract

Lack of social fairness and increasing legal and regulatory obligations for traceability along the supply chain cause companies to face complex challenges. As a promising technology for supply chains, blockchain has the potential to address these challenges. This research focuses on governance for resilience in information systems for supply chain consortia. As instantiation, we aim to develop a governance model for blockchain-based traceability systems in supply chain consortia within an agricultural environment. To set a foundation and narrow down the research interests, within this article, we utilized a design science research approach to elicit seven tentative design principles (DP) for an agricultural supply chain consortia governance model using blockchain-based traceability systems. Drawing on existing literature and expert interviews requirements, we identified the design principle of data, legislation and regulation, roles and responsibilities, decisions, decisions rights, decision management, system as a service, social - environment and fairness, as well as an incentive system. The elaborated DP can be used as a foundation for researchers and practitioners to design a governance model, including roles, rules, incentives, structures, and processes with associated possible alternatives.
